Square Dance camp brochures

Lloyd Shaw's summer school in Colorado Springs started in 1941, then resumed in the years after World War II. This item includes a small collection of brochures illustrating various dance camps and opportunities for square dance travel. Just as different callers developed their own magazines and newsletters, so did they find additional opportunities to connect with an ever-growing number of square dance enthusiasts in the 1950s and 1960s.

How popular were these offerings? Gotcher's Bigwinn Inn brochure mentions that the facility is limited to 300 dancers; the Missouri venue lists two summer sessions followed by eight in the fall.
